\nMountain bike trails are being added to Buescher state park in Smithville. We started part of the new section last weekend. The next official work day is scheduled (see below). If we are able to get some additional work days scheduled between now and then, i will add a post in this forum. Hope to see some of you guys out there. It is going to be a great start to a new mtb trail system.<\/p>\n

I would like to announce a trail workday coming up on 3\/23\/13 at Buescher State Park from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. The work will be a continuation of blazing new trail in the large scale trail upgrade that is going on at the park…<\/p>\n
